Joe Biden, President of the United States

“This year alone, 17 states have enacted — not just proposed, but enacted — 28 new laws to make it harder for Americans to vote.”

PolitiFact rated this: Not all equally restrictive

PolitiFact says: About two-thirds of the laws enacted tighter restrictions. However, about a quarter of the laws would have only a speculative impact on voting access, and a few included expansions along with restrictions.

Joe Biden, President

“I hear all the folks on TV saying, ‘Why didn’t Biden get this done?’ Well, because Biden only has a majority of, effectively, four votes in the House and a tie in the Senate with two members of the Senate who vote more with my Republican friends.”

Washington Post rated this: Three Pinocchios

Washington Post says: There’s no evidence that either Manchin or Sinema vote more with Republicans. But they are certainly more moderate than other Democrats and in a 50-50 Senate, they have the power to block any part of Biden’s agenda.

Gabriel Sterling, a Georgia election official, Georgia Election Official

“Georgia provision that bans giving away water or food to voters within a certain distance of polling sites is the same law that's in place in Joe Biden's home state of Delaware.”

MediaWise rated this: Mostly Not Legit

MediaWise says: While Delaware does prohibit gifts to voters, it’s not true to say that Georgia’s ban on food and water is the same law that’s in place in Delaware, since Delaware’s laws don’t even mention food or water.
